Long-horizon — largely theoretical today
Why it matters
It could cut trips to Mars to weeks and open the outer solar system, making humanity genuinely interplanetary.
Where it stands
Concepts and component experiments exist; a working fusion drive depends on mastering fusion itself.
How ASIZ approaches it
The discovery loop, applied.
Through the Space Systems center, ASIZ aims the discovery loop at fusion rocket: frontier models survey the literature and simulate the possibilities, rank the experiments most likely to resolve the open questions, and partner labs run the decisive ones — with results shared openly.
